Obituary.
| j. II. SCHOONOvER, another beloved
veteran and pioneer of Thomas Co. Kas.
has gone over to join the swelling ranks
of the redeemed ones on the other side of
the dark river After near four weeks
of excessive pain, borne in most patient
manner, our beloved brother departed
this life October the Goth 1887 at his new
home in the township of Randall at the
age of 80 years and months He leaves
a wife and three children; father and

rem Co., Ohio, April 2Sth, 1S49 and in the
| year 1873, with father and mother, NOV
ed to Herman, Ills, and at this place he
| made public confession of his faith in
/. Christ and was immersed by brother L.
B. Myres. He was ever faithful and true
| to the duties and covenants of the chris
tian relations which he had chosen and
| shared largely in the consciousness of d.
vine approval. He, with his family and
father and mother came to this county
at the beginning of the present year and
settled upon homestead. No sooner
had he settled in this great west. in a
| neighborhood of sod houses, than he was
found working for the Master, in the
way of gathering the little ones together
in the sunday school to read from the
obey the Savior. He was also an honor
| ed member of the Masonic order. He
was truly beloved by all that knew him.
HIS funeral was preached by the writer,
using the words-For we know if our
earthly house of this tabernacle were dis
solved, We haye building of (God) a
house not made with hands, eternal in
the heavens Cor, 81. After which
he was followed by large concourse of
relatives and friends to his last resting
place.
Dear is the spot where christians sleep
And sweet the strains their spirits pour;
o why should we in anguish weep?
They are not lost but gone before!
Secure from every mortal care,
By sin and sorrow vexed no more,
Eternal happiness they share
Who are not lost but gone before.
To lions peaceful courts above,
In Faith triumphant may we soar,
Embracing, in the arms Of love,
The friends not lost but gone before.
FIN. STEwARf.
